falling off the stool

Well I once again managed to cause some laughter. We were in L&D at night and we had one patient in active labor. She was cute as a button, it was her first baby. She had been in labor for 2 days but was finally complete. We were trying to encourage her to push but all she would do was "squeek" when she had a contraction....she was very funny and we all were trying to get her to hold her breath and push. I sat down on a stool and did not realize the top was not attached to the bottom. i went flying off the chair and walloped my head on a bar behind me. The graduate midwife "Sage femme" couldnt stop laughing. I made quite a hit with her and tho I could not speak any french she chuckled whenever she saw me. The students were more sympathetic and rubbed my head.....The patient delivered beautifully...and all was well
